Following NCIS, CBS’s season finale of Bull (1.3, 11.80M) also climbed.

At 10 PM, NBC’s Chicago Med (1.1, 5.77M) finished first among broadcasters in the demo, but was no competition for NCIS: New Orleans (0.8, 7.80M) in total viewers; ABC’s For the People (0.5, 2.0M) followed.

For all the Big 4 finales and farewells, there was a goodbye of a different nature on cable Tuesday night.
The NBA Conference Semifinals doubleheader on TNT saw current champs the Golden State Warriors beat the New Orleans Pelicans to advance to next round as the Louisiana team exited the playoffs. That game scored a 3.8 in metered market ratings and overall the two games hit a 3.5, which is even with the comparable single game of the same time last year.

CBS (1.2, 11.57M) and ABC (1.2, 4.69M) shared the demo win for the night, while CBS stood alone at top of heap in total viewers. For ABC, it marked its longest run as first-place broadcaster on Tuesday in 18 years.

NBC (1.0, 5.60) came in third in the demo and second in overall audience. Fox (0.7, 2.28M) and CW (0.5, 1.42M) followed.
